Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the Guwahati High Court's decision regarding the appellant's removal from service in the Assam Rifles, which was based on a voluntary resignation accepted on 18.12.1995, effective from 29.2.1996. The Court found that the appellant's claim of illegal detention and coercion in signing the resignation was unsupported by evidence and involved disputed questions of fact unsuitable for resolution in a writ petition. The Court held that the authorities acted correctly based on the resignation letter, and the appellant was advised to seek appropriate remedies if he wished to contest the validity of the resignation.
